Gongqing bone

Chapter 39
I don't know how many times the courtiers have changed, not to mention that the Li family is still a big family in the local area, and Li Zhen and Li Yanfeng are both "in high positions" after their deaths.
The emperor also specially sent people to the local area to build monuments and erect temples. If it weren't for the fact that there is no trace of "heart learning" in the court today, who would take the initiative to investigate this past event?

In other words, what everyone who can write books today is orthodox Neo-Confucianism, and most of the students learn from it, but there are only a few who engage in Psychology.

It is even more impossible to find out about the fighting behind the scenes of "Psychology and Neo-Confucianism" back then.

Until the Longjing tea soup in the crystal cup became so light and tasteless, and the mist on the cup wall became so thin that it was almost invisible, Lao Shangshu finally stopped his words, but Yan Taoxue felt cold all over his body.

Many years ago, when he took part in the province's provincial examination, he did not rank in the top three as he expected, but he also got his wish and became a candidate;
Later, by chance, I was lucky enough to have a drink at the same table with the examiner who was white-haired and bearded at the time.

The old gentleman vaguely reminded him that it is better to be more orthodox in policy theory, not to deviate from the orthodoxy, and he will keep his teachings in mind when he will take the exam and even the palace exam.

The old man has passed away long ago. Now it seems that he must have downgraded his ranking in order to protect him!Xie Yuan's article is too conspicuous!
But there are people who make mistakes, and horses who make mistakes. After so many years, how can Yan Tao, who doesn't know the whole story, be stretched all the year round?

Just before the Double Ninth Festival, his good friends came to sit with him and discuss with him in high spirits, comparing strategies and theories, to see if the pen has become rusty over the years,
The topic is the famous saying of Wang Yangming, a great underestimated master of psychology-the principle of everything is nothing but my heart.

Yan Tao took a slanted approach to learning swords, taking Wang Shouren's unconventional journey to counter rebellion as an argument:

Wang Yangming's journey is not the heroic killing of the generals, but more like the crushing of wisdom;
Yan Taoxue himself highly praised his "nothing outside his mind",
Since you can achieve what you want without abolishing a single soldier, by forging evidence and other methods to lure the enemy, why not do it?

This is the real soldier who never tires of cheating!
Friends read it and praised it again and again.

As for the thesis on the rural examination that he did not "brilliantly" many years ago, there are many words of praise for Wang Yangming. At the beginning, he quoted his "reporting Hairi Weng Ji'an's book of war",
He also bluntly said that if he is reused, he will definitely be no less than a famous official like Yu Qian Shaobao.

Today's Holy Majesty's dislike of Xinxue and Wang Yangming is purely distasteful——

Today, I hate Li Yanfeng and Li Zhen who believe in the philosophy of mind.

Li Zhen, who was at the same time as him, was a person with a rich family background, upright conduct, a wealth of knowledge, and a gentleman like jade. , Appease the frontier.

He Yan Tao said that Wang Yangming of the previous dynasty was worthy of reuse. Doesn't that mean that the current dynasty is a foolish king who doesn't know how to use others well?This led to the early death of people like Li Zhen.

After experiencing the turbulent waves in his heart, Yan Taoxue's heart quickly calmed down like a calm face.

He is also a character. After understanding the cause and effect, he quickly stripped away the facts:
On that day, the Qushui in Xue's mansion was flowing, and Taisun said that he did it on purpose. He knew that someone wanted to win him over, so he threw out that line of Li Zhen's poem to see if he would "take the bait for those who wish".

If he is a fool, his sense of touch is too blunt, and he didn't realize the formation that had been set up around him long ago, then he is not worthy of being wooed by the princelings;

But if he had already discovered it like now, he would not be willing to fall into such a conspiracy.

My friends have long been involved in party disputes, and have already stood on the opposite side of the princelings, helping them get the handle of what I personally did.

And now the only one that can compete with the princelings is the Baye Party.

The third prince with a reckless personality couldn't do this kind of trick of hiding a needle in the cotton; His Highness Taisun is also orthodox, and he has always disdained this way of attracting people.

Yan Taoxue has no doubt that the policy theory he made in his early rural examinations has long been submitted to the table of the eighth master.

It was that policy theory that reminded the Baye Party that they could pull him into the water in this way. That was the only weakness he showed, a fatal point that could make his political career a complete failure.

The eighth prince will quickly make moves, first set up a situation and then help him out, and finally let himself be sold and have to count the money for him!

Yan Tao is disgusted with learning, and no one can compare to Zhou Si when it comes to inviting people to buy people's hearts and acting like a virtuous king;

It is not the Mingjun's doing to control the effectiveness of the courtiers with this kind of indiscriminate means.

If I really follow him in the future, the probability of ending up as a cunning rabbit and running dog will also rise in a straight line!

But the only thing Yan Taoxue didn't understand was why Taisun didn't take the first step and reminded himself when his friends set a trap for him?
It will not increase the risk of exposure in front of the Eighth Prince.

He Zhou Xian used Li Zhen's poem, what would His Majesty think?

Unexpectedly, the princeling lost the Lin family, and His Royal Highness was still so sharp and vigorous.

Yan Taoxue didn't know, Zhou Xian was so busy that he didn't care about the fact that the Eighth Prince's Party had already extended its tentacles to Yan Taoxue. Without the help of Lin Junyun and the Lin family, he was even more limited in available talents.

The reason why he suddenly reminded Yan Tao to learn from Xue's residence was because he had no choice but to do so.

It was Luo Min who reminded him, and then he asked his confidant about Yan Taoxue's recent movements;

The confidant also told Zhou Xian that the only suspicious thing about Yan Taoxue recently is that he made a policy statement like an exam candidate.

After Zhou Xian finished reading it, he quickly learned from the policy discussion how Zhou Si wanted to force Yan Tao to join the team, so he made a surprising statement on Qushui Liushang.

What Zhou Xian thought was that if he had someone, he would be able to know the movements of all the officials; how could he know that Eighth Uncle and the others would not be watching Yan Taoxue like jackals watching their prey in the near future?

If I secretly send a letter to Yan Tao School, it is very likely that the eighth uncle and the others will beat him up in the next second, after all, he is Zhou Si who is well-known in the court;

Zhou Siruo said: "It's him Zhou Xian who shouted to catch the thief."

Others obviously believe that the probability of the "Eight Wise Kings" is higher, and then he will lose his wife and lose his army, and directly push Yan Taoxue into the opponent's camp.

The safest way is to just remind all the ministers openly like this;
The worst result would be to be hated by the imperial grandfather for a while.

If Zhou Si is good at inviting people's hearts, Zhou Xian is better at insight into people's hearts.

There is a folk saying that goes: It is not business that catches up.

Cultivating confidantes is the same principle. Yan Tao learns to come here by himself, and will only stay longer and more stable than Zhou Xian who wins him over.

Naturally, Zhou Xian would not stop Zhou Si's one-party actions, he just chose the method with the greatest chance of winning.

"Tao Xue, don't get caught up in party disputes! The Lin family is a lesson from the past!"

Lao Shangshu saw that Yan Taoxue was silent for a long time, so Yue Mo made a rough guess.

Yan Taoxue asked: "Duke Long, you, that is, why did you choose Baye?"

Yan Taoxue knew very well that Duke Long is a man, although he is capable, but he is cautious and will not take the lead easily, so how did he get on the eighth prince's boat?
Old Shangshu stared at him for a long time, then smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I'll tell you!"
